      Cooperstown KOA

      Great location and campground

      Spaces were easy in/out. Mature trees between sites. Pool, office, pickleball, k9kamp, bathrooms were all nice.

      Delta Lake State Park Campground

      Nice Park!

      Had an overnight stay here and it was really peaceful. The reservoir had been drained but it was still lovely to look out across the property. You definitely can’t beat $30 for an electric site! Restrooms were a bit dated but clean. Staff was very friendly. Our site was spacious and next to a short walking trail through the trees.

      Nice Friendly Rv park

      Clean, safe RV park off a small lake. Functioning electric and water hookups as well as sewage. Very kind and helpful owners and friendly campers.

      Oquaga Creek State Park Campground

      Very Nice and would go again; but not the Adirondacks.

      Really liked it. Love the layout, with camp sites having mowed paths to the restrooms and showers in the middle of each loop. Nicest showers and rest rooms we have seen so far. Each site has brush between them so you can not see your neighbors. Pretty, quiet, relaxing. The groomed hiking trails are the best and Arctic Lake is beautiful. Staff were so nice, and loved doing the scavenger hunt!

      Delta Lake State Park Campground

      Nice Campgrounds, Beautiful Lake.

      The campground facilities are very outdated. That's most likely due to the majority of "campers" having RV's and not needing to use the facilities. The restrooms/dish sink area Only having Cold water to wash up hands & dishes, the 1 and Only shower area for All 3 Loops reminded me of being in a horror film...full of dead insects everywhere, ther are signs posted letting you know its gonna take about 5 minutes to semi-heat up, and the shower spray directly on the floor vs staying contained withvh

      Gilbert Lake State Park Campground

      Staff is great as well as the campgrounds

      Gilbert Lake State Park is located about 11 miles north of Oneonta, New York. I have camped here for a number of summers at their Hilltop Section, never dissapointed. There are a few trails that traverse the park for a few miles that are always green and shady. The lake offers swimming and kayaking. There is a concession stand and even a small museum that chronicles the efforts of the national CCC program under Roosevelt that constructed the park in the 1930's. After a long day of hiking, the campgrounds hot showers offer a great reprieve.

      Deer Haven Campground and Cabins

      New management is awful.

      Now that All Star Baseball purchased this Oneonta campground this year, don't expect to stay here if you are not a baseball family. I went there in person yesterday for two nights at their"primitive" tent sites. After Hanna checked her computer, my dates were all cleared...great, then let me pay the $70... but no... she had to check with management first. I thought that was strange since that never happened to me before when getting any campsites elsewhere. I was told I'd be called later that day but nobody called me. I went back the next day only to be told all sites for the summer were rented out. Clearly that was not true based on her computer check the day before. BOTTOMLINE: if you are not a baseball family spending $1000's here, don't expect to even get the time of day. Therefore, they do not deserve anyone's business.

      Pleasant Lake Campground

      The worst campground I've ever experienced.

      The problems started before we even arrived. When I called to make a reservation, the owner was rude and impatient, repeatedly complaining that he couldn't hear me, despite me having full service. I discovered cell service at the campground was spotty, which made his attitude even more frustrating in hindsight. I told him it would be us and our dog, his immediate response was,"IT'S NOT A PIT BULL, IS IT?" in a hostile tone. I said no, she's an American Staffordshire, and my husband's service dog. He rudely replied that it was"THE SAME THING" and that they have breed restrictions. When I asked whether he was denying us, he avoided answering and demanded"legal paperwork" for her. I told him that no such paperwork exists, but she is trained to perform a task. He completed the reservation, took my payment, gave us a site number, and hung up. Since the office was closed and we had already been assigned a site number and paid, we assumed we could go directly to our site and finish any details in the morning. While setting up, the owner drove over and confronted us for not reporting to the office first. He then demanded proof of rabies vaccination, which is reasonable. We apologized that we had forgotten the paperwork and said we'd email it to him first thing in the morning. We were extremely annoyed that we saw multiple pit bulls as soon as we pulled in the campground. The next morning, we emailed the records to the campground around 10:10 AM, exactly as promised, as soon as our vet's office had opened. About 11:00, the owner left a voicemail demanding that we leave the property immediately because he had not received the paperwork. I called back and asked him to check his email again, he accused me of sending it to the wrong address. I told him that if he still couldn't find it after checking again, I would come to the office once I was dressed. 30 minutes later, he left another voicemail saying he had escalated it to the sheriff's office because we had not complied. Meanwhile, my husband was already walking to the office to handle things and the owner informed him that we were no longer welcome and that he had called the sheriff's office. Again, my husband told them to check their spam folder, and the email had been there all along. We communicated throughout the entire process and did exactly what we said we would do. The owner's son was far more reasonable and they did apologize, but it didn't make the situation right. The sites were tight, muddy, unlevel, and had awkwardly placed hookups. We were packed so close together that the row behind us overlapped the rear of our camper by a few feet. We had to share water with the neighboring site through a splitter at the spigot. We didn't use the restrooms or amenities because after our interactions with management, we felt completely unwelcome. We only stayed because we were in town for our grandson's first birthday and couldn't find another campground on such short notice.

      Herkimer Diamond Mine KOA

      Interesting things to do at this campground

      We've stayed here half a dozen times, usually for an evening along our camping trips. We did stay an extra day once to do some of the activities available.

      It's a bit of a haul to get to the campground and the first time we were sure that we had missed a turn as we left Herkimer and headed up smaller and more winding roads to the campground. The turn off to the campground comes up fast and is quite sharp so be on the lookout for it.

      The campground has many sites including back in and pull through. Not the largest of sites, but lots of green space to give the campground a park like feel. Some camp sites are right along the West Canada Creek. You can swim/wade in it, in addition to riding rafts along it.

      There is a working "diamond" mine at the campground where you can try your hand at mining, or just buy some of the crystals that someone else did the work to get. There is a nice restaurant open most days (we have always managed to miss the days that it's open) in addition to stands near the mine that sell hot dogs and burgers.

      There is a nice, large pool. In the park like area around it they have stands that sell mixed drinks, and others that sell ice cream and other deserts. The camp store is medium-large and has supplies, food, souvenirs (including Herkimer Diamond), etc.

    Guide to Hubbardsville

    Several campgrounds near Hubbardsville provide a range of camping options within the rolling hills of central New York. Located in Madison County at approximately 1,250 feet elevation, this region experiences warm summers with temperatures averaging 75-85°F and cool nights around 55-60°F. Fall camping is particularly popular due to moderate temperatures and colorful foliage from mid-September through October.

    What to do

    Kayaking at Green Lakes State Park: The park features two meromictic lakes with unusual blue-green water due to their depth and mineral content. Rentals available for $7/hour for rowboats. "You cannot bring your own kayaks you have to rent. Fun hiking area the water is gorgeous. Great playgrounds. Bathrooms and showers were very clean," notes Sara H.

    Hike glacial formations: Green Lakes State Park offers a 3.1-mile loop trail around its unique glacial lakes. "The hiking includes an easy 3.1 mile loop with much shade around two glacier formed turquoise lakes (you need to see them in person to appreciate)," according to Sheri S.

    Diamond mining excursions: Search for Herkimer diamonds (double-terminated quartz crystals) at Herkimer Diamond Mine KOA, which offers both camping and mining access. "The mines are so much fun. Some of the sites are crowded but each site has plenty of space. The whole park is well maintained," writes Kelly F.

    Tubing the West Canada Creek: This activity provides a refreshing way to cool off during summer months. "The creek is AMAZING. Both kid and adult friendly and it's free, just bring a tube or purchase for cheap at the camp store. Lazy river flow with some faster spots," reports Julia P.

    What campers like

    Private wooded sites: Bowman Lake State Park offers secluded camping areas. "This campsite was beautiful. It was very secluded and in the woods, right next to the lake as well. I enjoyed how spread out this campground is compared to most and the location is beautiful," says Katarina M.

    Clean facilities: Most state parks in the region maintain well-kept bathrooms and shower facilities. "The bathhouses have been remodeled and most are private with a toilet, shower and sink which makes this a wonderful family campground," reports a visitor to Chenango Valley State Park.

    Yurt camping options: Loomis Lair offers yurt camping near Hubbardsville, providing a comfortable glamping alternative. Grandpa's Back 40 Glamping also features limited yurt accommodations with basic amenities. "It's a very nice space," notes a recent visitor.

    Proximity to attractions: The region's central location provides easy access to multiple destinations. "With Cooperstown 15-20 minutes away no lack of things to do for adults and kids. Great restaurants also. No reason to ever get bored," writes Patti M. about her stay at Glimmerglass State Park.

    What you should know

    Seasonal operations: Most campgrounds operate from mid-May through early October. Delta Lake State Park's season runs "May 12 to October 9" according to park information, with peak season in July and August.

    Water access considerations: Not all campgrounds provide direct water access from campsites. "Only downside is there is not a hiking/walking path down to the lake from the campground. Very nice bathrooms w shower and wash station," reports Heather E. about Glimmerglass State Park.

    Limited yurt availability: Yurt camping near Hubbardsville requires advance booking due to limited inventory. Grandpa's Back 40 Glamping has only two sites available.

    Shower facilities vary: Quality of shower facilities differs across campgrounds. "As clean as the bathrooms are, the showers still suck. I'll never understand why parks use the misting shower heads... It's best to use the ADA bathrooms because those shower heads are normal and have wands," advises Chelsea B.

    Tips for camping with families

    Consider site location: Request sites closer to facilities when camping with young children. "Plenty of sites with electric available at every site. There are some sites with full hook-up available and also specific areas that allow pets. Swimming is available at the large beach," notes Cindy H.

    Plan for weather changes: Summer storms can develop quickly in the region. "I did have to cut it short when we got rained out," explains Mary P. about her trip to Chenango Valley with her grandson.

    Choose parks with multiple activities: Delta Lake State Park offers diverse family options. "Bring your bikes, the swimming is great and the entire swimming/boating area just underwent a major renovation. You can rent kayaks and paddle boards and the park is well maintained and monitored by park police, very safe!" recommends Courtney Z.

    Pack for variable temperatures: Even summer nights can drop into the 50s. "The mature trees make for beautiful scenery in the fall," notes one Cooperstown KOA visitor, but those same trees provide significant shade that keeps temperatures cooler.

    Tips from RVers

    Check site specifications: Some campgrounds have limited large rig access. "Sites are a good size with water and electric on each site. There is a dumping station to use, some sewer sites," explains Heather R. about Treasure Isle RV Park.

    Consider satellite reception: Tree coverage affects signal quality. "The park does have a fair amount of trees that would interfere with roof-mounted satellite dishes so you would have to pick your site carefully. But, there are some 30 amp and no hook-up sites that are clear," advises Nancy W.

    Reserve early for waterfront sites: Premium locations book quickly. "We had a waterfront hookup! So pretty especially in the morning with the sunrise. The road to get in was for the most part well taken care of. It was pretty quiet especially after quiet hours everyone was very respectful," shares Tris W. about their Delta Lake State Park experience.
